What is Optimist Day?

Optimist Day on February 1 is a reminder to look at the year ahead with hope rather than worry. Optimism is not ignoring problems but expecting that effort can make things better, an attitude that research links with greater resilience in hard times. People mark the day by writing down a few things they look forward to, sharing good news, doing a small kindness or spending time with friends who lift their spirits.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
